亞太社企高峰會 Asia Pacific Social Enterprise Summit

社會企業強調兼顧社會價值與獲利能力的雙重目標經營，其運作方式便是整合各方資源，以支持社會企業的創新觀念，並進而採取更多帶來社會正向改變的行動，現今更在全球各地掀起浪潮。過去臺灣以科技島享有盛名，近年來則也因為社會企業的蓬勃發展受到國際社會關注，更對亞太地區及全世界有著舉足輕重的影響。2018年我們以「明日亞洲」為主軸舉辦第一屆亞太社會企業高峰會，成功引起國內外關注並開啟與世界對話；在今年度中我們期待能夠延續交流的動力，並且「啟動」亞太地區的社會企業新文化，讓全世界看見臺灣「暖實力」。

Asia Pacific Social Enterprise Summit (APSES) is one of the significant summits on social enterprise across Asia Pacific region. It is firstly initiated by the public-private-partnership in 2018 as to advocate social entrepreneurship and social innovation and promote “Taiwan';s heartwarming power” and that matches to newly announced “Social Innovation Action Plan” for the next 5 years. APSES is established for the purpose of helping Taiwan’s social innovation ecosystem grow and to show the world that Taiwan has the ability and willingness to help solve global problems, and most of all, achieving sustainable development goals (SDGs) together with actors from across sectors.

Every year, APSES invites organizations and representatives from the civil society, the corporates, and the government to co-organize the flagship summit; and welcomes 1,200 social entrepreneurs, change makers and representatives from all walks of life to attend, meet, collaborate and exchange ideas and experiences.

啟動亞洲 Activate Asia

亞洲多元文化與創新活躍的精神，不僅引動在地的力量，更對全球帶來不可忽視的影響。同樣地，亞洲社會企業的發展也隨著多元文化有多樣的展現，社會企業在亞洲雖然起步較晚，許多社企在成立初期也都是從「模仿歐美社企的模式」為基礎，但近年來亞太各國政府開始重視、推廣與建構在地的生態系統，加上有更多創新點子和模式向前推進，亞洲各地的社會企業，已逐漸發展出其獨特的樣貌。因此，我們期待透過今年度的高峰會重新啟動亞洲社企潛在的能量，激發更多創新交流的火花，從現有挑戰中找到未來解決方法，展現亞洲豐富潛在的創新力與包容力，更要自此啟動亞太社會企業生態系統建構的工程，積極做好區域合作的基礎建設、人才培育、行銷通路、輔導加速和交流網絡。

Diverse culture and innovative DNA are something unique in Asia, which leads the local momentum and creates impact across the globe. Seamlessly, development of social enterprise in Asia is similar to its context. Though the concept and idea of social entrepreneurship wasn’t adopted early in Asia and many models were copied from Europe and the USA, it is now a trendy term and more developed business model due to the support of local government and ecosystem.

Asia Pacific Social Enterprise Summit is an annual gathering for like-minded people with purpose to share common value, network, dialogue and sparks innovative ideas and solutions to the most pressing challenges across the region. We aim to “activate” the hidden energy and unleash the potential of social enterprises in Asia. We activate, innovate and elevate the power of diversity, creativity and inclusiveness, as to build a stronger “ecosystem for social enterprises in Asia,” from infrastructure, incubation, acceleration, marketing and sales channels to regional collaboration network.

Let’s activate to build a better future together!
